"Mad Jack" would be a great subject for a film!
Another thread reminded me of the extraordinary life of Lieutenant Colonel John Malcolm Thorpe Fleming "Mad Jack" Churchill. I personally believe that it would make a wonderful film. It would, with no embellishment or "dramatic license" qualify as a blockbuster! Perhaps we can get Spielberg interested! 
The matter of an actor to play the man is a concern. Who could possibly carry off his unique combination of charisma, punctilious courtesy, bravery and audacity?
